wiivnow Application filed September 27, 1930. Serial No. 484,734.

' My invention relates to non-fixed or ventilating windows, and has for its object an improvement in construction whereby the setting of the glass in the weather face of the window, the painting of the weather face, and the cleaning of the weather face, may one or all be wholly done entirely from the inside of the room in which the window is installed.

A further object is to secure the foregoing results with the utmost simplicity of fabrication and after-manipulation when in use and with the minimum of added cost over other window constructions not embodying these results.

Another object is to construct a glass carrying frame within and hinged to swing from any usual frame which is movable at will to secure ventilation.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing wherein the preferred form of embodiment of the invention is clearly shown, and wherein similar numerals of reference denote similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring now to the said drawing:

Figure 1 is a horizontal sectional view looking downward, of an outswinging metallic casement window in a room.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view at one of the window jambs.

The invention is constructed and operated substantially and preferably as follows:

1' is the wall jamb, and 2 the window sill. Anchored to the wall jambs by means of 3 is the wall or ventilating frame, or window carrying frame 4, acting as stop beads for t 1e outswinging ventilating frame 5. This frame 5 is pivoted to the wall frame 4 by means of the hinge 6, and carries within its interior peripheral construction the inwardswinging glass carrying frame 7 hinged as at 8; 11 being the glass portion thereof, 12 the glazing cement and 13 being a metal block.

YVhen closed the herein described window has the wall frame 4, the outswinging ventilating frame 5, and the inswinging glass frame 7 and glass 11 co-functioning to form acontinuous plane sealed against Wind and water penetration due to the intimate metal to metal contact of the several frames one against the other.

When the window is to be openedto secure ventilation the ventilating frame 5 carrying the glass frame 7 is released from a latch as 9 anchored to the wall frame 4, and is then swung outward thereby carrying with it (as if integrally incorporated therewith) the glass frame 7 which is latched theretoby any suitable means as 10. 7

VJ hen the window needs cleaning, repainting or repairing of its weather face then the ventilating frame 5, in a closed and latched I position, or in an unlatched and outswung position, as shown in Fig. 1, the glass frame 7 is unlatched from said ventilating frame by turning latch 10 and is swung inward into easy access for handling wholly inside the room. Vihen the necessary manipulation is completed the glass frame 7 is again latched to the ventilating frame 5 as in its original state.

As my invention'is in some of its aspects generic, I do not limit myself to the particularconstruction shown and described, but also contemplate the employmentof such equivalents as fairly fall within the scope of the claims.

In this connection I may state that the invention is capable of application to many types of ventilating windows other than outswung casementwindows, and may be constructed of metal or wood'or the like. While the main swinging frame is shown swung outward, and the glass carrying frame is swung inward, these directions may be reversed, or changed as desired.

Therefore it should be understood that I may make various changes in the form, pro- I portion, size and detail of thestructure shown and described, and the number and position of certain'elements used, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

I claim:

1. A ventilating window, comprising an angular frame having one leg thereof anchored to the wall opening and a second leg and to the ventilating frame permitting the swinging of the ventilating frame relative to the wall frame, an angular glass carrying frame having one leg bent away from the planes of the wall opening to an identical angle with the bent leg of the ventilating frame thereby forming a weather tight seat-r ing for the glass carrying frame with its second leg disposed in the same plane as that of the unbent leg of the ventilating frame, hinged means anchored to the ventilating frame and to the glass carrying frame permitting the swinging of the glass carrying frame relative to the ventilating frame, means for latching the ventilating frame to the wall frame, and means for latching the glass carrying frame to the ventilating frame.

2. A metal ventilating window in a wall opening. comprising a ventilating frame composed of angles with bent legs, and an angular glass carrying frame having one leg bent away from the plane of the wall opening to an identical angle with the bent leg of the ventilating frame thereby forming a weather tight seating for the glass carrying frame with its second leg disposed in the same plane as that of the unbent leg of the ventilating frame.
